\nPresident Donald Trump issued a powerful warning to North Korea Tuesday, threatening to unleash an unprecedented assault on the rogue regime.
\u201cNorth Korea best not make any more threats to the United States, \u201d Trump declared before the White House press pool. \u201cThey will be met with the fire and fury like the world has never seen. He has been very threatening beyond a normal state, and as I said, they will be met with the fire and fury and, frankly, power the likes of which this world has never seen before.\u201d
North Korea has an intercontinental ballistic missile that expert observers assess can deliver a nuclear payload to cities across the continental U. S., and a new Defense Intelligence Agency report revealed that North Korea has miniaturized nuclear warheads for its ballistic missiles, including its new ICBM.
The United Nations Security Council unanimously approved new sanctions against North Korea over the weekend, stepping up pressure on Pyongyang. In response to the new resolution, North Korea announced that it will \u201cmake the U. S. pay dearly for all the heinous crime it commits against the state and people of this country.\u201d
North Korean state media warned that the U. S. will \u201cpay the price for its crime\u2026 thousands of times\u201d and threatened to teach the U. S. a \u201cdecisive act of justice.\u201d
The Trump administration has been pursuing a diplomatic solution to the North Korea problem, investing in a strategy of \u201cmaximum pressure and engagement, \u201d which involves military deterrence, economic sanctions, and international pressure. Trump\u2019s latest rhetoric suggests that he may be considering a more aggressive approach.
